metformin is a god send! Even when I sometimes cheat and have a candybar, my metformin keeps my blood sugars in check. I have been routinely under 200 ever since I started on the medication.

Pros:

even blood sugars

Cons:

none

I have been taking this pill for sometime and the only time it bothers me is when I don't take it with milk. Even if I have had a full meal, I still have to take it with milk.

I have taken this medication for quite a long time and it seems to work with my Insulin to level out my peaks and valleys.

I was taking this dose until sugar got out of control and doc upped it to 850mg twice a day which is working well with little to no side effects.
